Abstract

An electrical component grounding device includes a ground bar, a fastener, and an elongate backing plate. The ground bar includes an elongate electrical contact bridge having at least one electrical contact, a retainer bracket angularly depending centrally of the bridge, and a fastener receiver. The fastener communicates with the ground bar via the fastener receiver. The elongate backing plate has a fastener receiver mating with the fastener and is operative to engage together the ground bar and the backing plate about a support structure. The backing plate and the fastener further cooperate to support the backing plate for rotatable positioning relative to the ground bar to facilitate assembly of the grounding device to the support structure.
